Who they were

Ordained at Almería in 1890, he joined the Diocesan Worker Priests and, while in Mexico City, founded with Rosario Arrevillaga Escalada the Congregation of the Handmaids of the Immaculate Child; he died at San Diego, California, on a missionary journey and is buried in the crypt of Mexico City cathedral.

The miracles

No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.

Why that counted as sanctity

His cause was transferred from San Diego to Almería in 1997 and received the nihil obstat on 18 July 1998.

The cause

The cause continues. No postulation address is published here yet. Favours received through this person’s intercession, and offers of help, are best sent to the religious order or congregation they belonged to, or to the diocese where the cause was opened; either will pass them to the postulation.

A miracle approved by the Holy See is needed for the next step. If you know the postulation’s own page, tell us and it will be added here.
